How to set environment variable? #1

Closed cmarqu closed 7 years ago

cmarqu commented 8 years ago

Hi,

it would be nice if there was an example on how to set an environment variable. I figured since you are eval'ing the output, I should write something like echo export AMSHOME=/tools/cds/incisive_15.20.007_Linux; (with the semicolon for separating multiple lines), but it doesn't seem to work for me. It may be that this is because my $SHELL is set to tcsh, and I explicitly started bash --login?

Oh, I see. albion is just source'ing whatever it finds in the config file and that's it. I was somehow thrown off by the shell function in the mypath example and assumed I would also need to have a shell function with the name of my config. Maybe it would be good to provide a simple example called env-vars?

A simple example is a great suggestion. I keep getting good ideas from people right when I'm starting a vacation (am I vacationing too much?), but I will add that example when I return home.

I would have made a pull request here, but wasn't sure whether your gateway to hg is bidirectional, so may have been wasted effort...

Don't hesitate to create a pull request. I'm sure I can figure out how to get into my repo.

I added an example in commit cb88287fb659047422597a6562d581ebb0f66b9c
